Just a Little Sewing

 

     Most of the past week was spent helping my sister after she had a partial cornea transplant. I did some cooking and put in her eye drops every hour, but mostly kept her company while she reclined for her eye to heal. She is improving daily.

     Before I left town, every day I was checking progress on 5 caterpillars on my parsley. 


After I returned home, I found 2 chrysalis on daylily plants near by. I may or may not discover others. Can you find them?

I plan to check them every morning in hopes of seeing them hatch and fly away like I did one a few weeks ago. It was exciting.

     The only sewing and quilting that got done was to finish up 3 more Christmas placemats that will go for Meals on Wheels.

      I used TV time for squaring up a pile of HST units for Jewel Box Stars from Bonnie's 2018 leader/ender challenge.

Thursday I sewed more blocks together. I am getting close to having enough for the quilt I plan to make. These are actually stacks sorted and pinned on my design wall.

Hope you are staying safe and healthy while enjoying some sewing or quilting.

I'm linking up with Alycia's Finished (or Not Friday).
